Cavrilhu Pirates

The Cavrilhu Pirates were a group of pirates based in the Amorris system.
Led by Captain Zothip from aboard Void Cutter, the pirates operated from a number of hidden bases, like their facility in the Kauron asteroid belt. Luke Skywalker managed to infiltrate their base in 19 ABY, but was captured and survived only due to the timely arrival of Mara Jade.
In the period preceding 19 ABY, Zothip began providing Preybird-class starfighters to the Imperial Remnant through a deal with Lord Graemon and Moff Disra. The deal went sour when forces loyal to Fleet Admiral Pellaeon discovered that they were being purchased from the pirates, rather than SoroSuub.
After Disra cancelled the deal, Zothip and several others headed to confront Disra on Bastion. Zothip met his end shortly before the Bastion Accords were signed, when one of his lieutenants, a pirate named Control, engineered a confrontation between Zothip and Disra. Zothip was killed by the Mistryl Shadow Guard Karoly D'ulin, and Control was left to take over the Cavrilhu Pirates. Shortly later, they attacked and were repelled from the Chiss training center in the Rata Nebula.
